Is it necessary to press the brake when shifting to P gear?
1 Answers
Shifting to P gear does not require pressing the brake. Here are the relevant explanations: 1. Solution for the automatic gear lever being stuck in P: If you need to shift to other gears, you should first start the vehicle and then shift to the desired gear, or press the brake pedal before switching gears. When parking, always ensure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting to P gear; otherwise, it is easy to encounter this situation where the gear lever is stuck in P. 2. Working principle of the automatic P gear: When the gear lever is in P gear, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. In P gear, the drive shaft is partially locked inside the transmission, so even without pressing the brake on flat ground, the vehicle still has some braking force.
